So I guess the next question is: if my eyesight trajectory is set in stone does eye strain not matter then? I was raised to not read in dim light for example, but is that only relevant for kids with developing sight? If not, what is the difference between eye strain/atrophy related to your prescription and other forms of eye strain?

I only really understand your first question

If you have eye strain your optometrist should consider doing cyclopentolate refraction or using prism. Your case history, cause of strain and has a recent change in your prescription prompted it all matter. Poor sleep and stress can cause it too.

Prism corrects binocular vision. Remember you have 2 eyes but only see 1 image. There’s an entire network of muscles and nerves that work together to ensure you see one image.

I have prism in my own lenses as I get some eyestrain sitting in my office all day. It’s not a big deal to get either and can make a major difference to your eyes
